Brittany Murphy's Hubby Will Sue Warner Bros.

[Shane McMahon's Ass]

UPDATE: Warner Bros. just gave us the following statement: "Any claim that Warner Bros. Pictures was somehow responsible for Brittany Murphy's tragic death is demonstrably false, reprehensible, and defamatory. Despite press reports to the contrary, Warner Bros. Pictures and Ms. Murphy never entered into any deal for "Happy Feet 2," and thus, there was not a contract to cancel."


Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, says Warner Bros. is responsible for the death of his wife and he plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the company.

Monjack told The Daily Beast Murphy was devastated after reportedly losing a role in the sequel to "Happy Feet." Monjack believes losing the movie caused Murphy to have a heart attack.

The L.A. County Coroner has not released the cause of death.

Before the "Happy Feet" setback, Brittany Murphy had been fired from the film, "The Caller," shot in Puerto Rico. There were numerous reports about her erratic behavior on the set.

Monjack said, "Warner Brothers relied on conjecture and hearsay about the Puerto Rico film for why they canceled Brittany's role in Happy Feet."

Monjack reportedly is days away from filing suit. Warner Bros. has no comment.


UPDATE: The producers of "The Caller" tell TMZ "The decision for Brittany to leave the film was mutual and amicable, and was in fact related to a serious illness in Brittany's family. Any rumors to the contrary are false, and in the circumstances, particularly hurtful."

Is this for real? She had a heart attack because she's not going to be in the sequel to a movie about animated fucking penguins? This just reeks of her husband trying to cash in on her death. He could have at least come up with something more plausible.

i cant see this guy geting any money over this, and actors lose rolls all the time but they dont die over it

[Big Evil]

She would not have had a heart attack over something like that. Stress can lead to heart attacks, but actors do not suffer over lost roles. Even the best lose out on roles. For this jackass to say so is pathetic. All he wants to do is cash in on her death, he is using her and it is reprehensible. He is a lowlife, and she died from a heart attack due to all the pills in the house that I wouldn't doubt he was having her take. This is a very suspicious situation and I think the police need to check this guy out. Something isn't right with him.
